The Days of Paint....

she was like the firesearing moments of electricitycarried in her pursenotes of the undergroundwriting scribbles in between the pages,she knew the names of everyone she ever metmaking small paintings on paperswirling kaleidoscopes of thoughts and passionthe day always dimmed when she left,she took her heart on the roadmet strangersleft donationssat quietly on park bencheswatching the days go slowly by,very late in the dayshe often thought she was Aliceloved to say"go feed your head,"loved to walk alonein the forestbringing back small animal skulls she found along the way,left the bones in her yardto bleach in the sundrank Absinthe and sugar cubeswith a strawsmoked Cubans and blew smoke ringsout into the fog

Someone asked what it was like, I said, "Think Marcell Duchamp and Willem DeKooning and then slide back in your chair and read some Charles Bukowski while listening to Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited.Mix in a blender and add ice and mint and relax.Time will go by like you will never know.

This show is dedicated to my father, former Lt. Ernest Anders Erickson, who wouldhave celebrated a birthday recently. A favorite image of his was the side-ways 8, the infinity symbol. It was a graphic used by the secret design department,“The Skunk Works.” at Lockheed Aircraft in Southern California, where he worked as a designer.A photograph (below) taken in England during World War II, of my dad, with Lt. General Jimmy Doolittle below the B-17 Flying Fortress, "Lady Fortune,” later renamed “Carmen’s Folly.”

As time flies along this Summer, good music can be found in so many places. My cousin, Michael Boutrous, up in Bismarck, North Dakota, has been sendingme some gems. I include a few here. The Parquet Courts song, “North Dakota,” I send back to the Great Plains for Mike.Very cool Afrikan psychedelic music is widely available these days, with groups like Tinariwen, Bombino, Tamikrest leading the way. A nice tune included here by the Egyptian musician / guitarist Omar Khorshid.What can I say about Led Zeppelin? I like them, always have, so adding two songs of theirs, from Led Zeppelin I and III. Lastly, a group of great new bands have come along, ones I include here in Episode #8 are First Aid Kit, Strand of Oaks, The Apache Relay. Warpaint does a pretty nice cover of Bowie’s, "Ashes To Ashes.” The rest fill in the spaces, like grass covering the rolling hills below the tree line.
